Huh?

Onlyoffice is a near clone of MS office though, so there’s basically no friction in adopting it unless you’re heavily into advanced Excel features.

Seriously though, I didn’t know what it was. I had to look it up: https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher

umu, what’s this?

And Solaris just above it. Has to be a joke.

Thanks for this, I gave it a shot but all I find it a bunch of timeshift files. I’m also not sure where to search that I haven’t already looked at.

What’s the value-add over just buying a SFF PC?

Then how do you explain the continued success of Mint?

Try this: https://www.programmingfonts.org/

That’s a ligature, it’s deliberate.

I’m not a fan of the way the lowercase L’s tail interacts with uppercase letters, but other than that it’s not bad!

It uses Lua instead Vimscript, but what is the benefit of using Lua outside of Vim?

The only other (in fact, the first) place I’ve run into Lua is WoW plugins.

Counterpoint: you have to use Shift a lot

Hmm the process doesn’t seem to be running at all on my X1 Carbon Gen 9 running EndeavourOS.

If you work for a larger company, they will likely want you to keep using what they already have, not because Linux can’t do the job but because it’s a PITA to maintain different devices.

I’m not watching some rando groyper’s clickbait. What is the reason?

No aircraft cabin crew have ever put out a call asking if there are any Linux sysadmin onboard with a copy of GParted Live v1.5.0 for 32bit ARM devices .

The grizzled greybeard spoke up, brandishing his weathered USB drive above his head like a sword. “I can do it. I’m a sysadmin.”

“Oh, thank God!” the flight attendant sighed. “It says something about booting, I’m not sure. Nobody here knows Linux.”

The greaybeard squeezed himself out of his seat and stood in the aisle. “I’d just like to interject for a moment.” he interrupted with a raised finger and a self-satisfied expression. “What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.”

He shifted his bulk to block one of the other passengers, who was screaming behind him that nobody cares. The pilot was now standing behind the flight attendant, begging the sysadmin to come up to the cockpit, but the greybeard was undeterred. “Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates t—”

The sysadmin never finished his sentence; the airplane smashed into the ground and all aboard were killed instantly. The impact somehow caused the GNU/Linux device to reboot correctly before it too was smashed to pieces a fraction of a second later.

I’ve never used Mint for gaming, but if you’ll be running Windows games I’d definitely look at something like Bazzite, EndeavourOS, or even PopOS. They use more up-to-date kernels and will reduce the odds of your Windows games not working. I’d probably try Bazzite first; PopOS is great but has a huge overhaul coming down the pipeline, and EndeavourOS is somewhat dependent on the terminal and may not be the best first distro to learn with.

Ah then if the games are Linux-native you’ll be fine. The reason for a more “cutting-edge” distro is if you need to run Windows games, which will require something like Lutris to do, and that benefits from a newer kernel, among other things.
